One of the new Templar songs "Warlord" appears on the latest sampler disc sent with the most recent Heaven's Metal fanzine.

There several people here who don't get this, and may not have even heard the tune, but it features Josh Kramer (from Saint) on lead vocals, and he sounds great.

I know Andy/Dynamis posted something about this in his news section on his great Angelic Warlord site, but I haven't heard anything else about this album. Does anyone know if Josh does the lead vocal duties for the entire album? Has it already been released yet? (tried googling templar, and couldn't seem to find out any info on the band).

The new Templar album is entitled "Preaching To The Perverted". I am uncertain as to a release date. In addition to Josh Kramer, it also includes guest appearances by Ez Gomer of Jet Circus and Saint bassist Richard Lynch.

Following is the bands MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/paradoxxmuzic

Please note I have not had the opportunity to spend a lot of time there- it looks clean so hopefully you will not find anything inappropriate.

I really liked what I heard. Until that, the only song I had heard was the one off of a sampler that came with Skin for Skin by Bride (also another great album) that I bought off Retroactive.

OK, I got the new Templar CD, "Preaching To The Perverted", earlier in the week and thought I would report back...

First, I would not consider this a Christian album but rather an album that might be of interest to those into Christian metal (Josh Kramer of Saint handles lead vocals on two tracks and Ez Gomer on one other). From reading the liner notes, it is obvious that the bands bassist, Rafael, is also a believer.

Musically, the album melds elements of hard rock and metal with some Gothic moments thrown in. Now, it is not necessarily the quality of the music here that turns me off here but rather that the groups main lead vocalist brings a punk/wave-like delivery that can come across a bit "grating" at times. I am a bit forgiving in the area of lead vocals, but I tend to draw the line when the vocals and music seem to be heading in different directions at once.

My advise would be to listen to the bands myspace samples and decide for yourself.

Lyrically, topics covered seem to be end time themes, ufo's, disappointment in relationships, the war against terror, etc. Things seem pretty clean though ambiguous in places (a few lines here and there leave me scratching my head- so uncertain if I am going to review it or not).

Arghhh I was afraid of that. I noticed that listening to the samples on cdbaby from their previous album. I was kind of hoping that Ez and more specifically Josh had more of a vocal prescence on the recent album.
